23Arts in the Snow I: Strauss & #HerStory

Soprano Celine Mogielnicki weaves the vocal music of Richard Strauss into an exploration of womens' emotional experience; a reckoning and reclaiming of the female narrative as captured by one of the most beloved- and feminist -composers in classical music. Mogielnicki joins forces with pianist Renana Gutman to trace the arc and phases of womanhood through the lens of Pauline de Ahna, Richard's brilliant, talented, and notoriously independent wife. The program draws from Strauss' piano and orchestral songs, his tone poem Ein Heldenleben, and the Four Last Songs.

Soprano Celine Mogielnicki is an artist, recognised for her “delicious” (Opera Today) and “finely balanced” (NY Times) singing. Praised by the NY Times for her “passionate and insightful” playing, Renana Gutman has performed across four continents as an orchestral soloist, recitalist and collaborative artist.
